“Haute couture (French for “high sewing” or “high dressmaking”; pronounced [oːt kutyʁ]) refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.”

“Ready-to-wear or prêt-à-porter (off the rack or “off-the-peg” in casual use) is the term for factory made clothing, sold in finished condition, in standardized sizes.”

pret a porter is a ready to wear. its usually what’s presented in runway stuff. they have specific patterns that are made for everyday people.
haute couture means high sewing or high dressing. haute couture is custom fitted for a specific designer
